A defining movie¹ in my life was .

A semi-sentient AI that, based on simulations and predictions of a biased training set and goal functions, almost destroys the world because humans (in particular the US military complex) fall for its faked output hallucinations over reality.

Clearly unrealistic science fiction.

¹ I've rewatched it since and ... it hasn't aged gracefully. Never meet your heroes and all that.

@larsmb Hah. This online handle isn't just a coincidence. I won't argue that Wargames is high art or anything, but I still enjoy it everytime I've watched it.

@sfalken I was in early elementary school when came out in Germany 1984ish. I saw it and knew what I wanted to do with my life - computers, networks, complex systems.

(At a very very naïve level of understanding at the time, obviously. I wasn't a prodigy, just hooked.)
